School
September 1, 2014
Large brick walls surround me
Workload weighs me down
Sheeple walk the busy halls
Each with a zombie-like frown
Tell us when to eat
Tell us when we can leave
Powerless to do anything else
None of us are free
Work eats up all time
And spits it to the void
Shackles bind my weary shoulders
No way to run or avoid
No choice to go against
The furious whirlpool
Oppressed and beaten down
From the prison they call school
© Halsey S., Marblehead, MA
